How Adrian works

Adrian Josanu is a Spanish-trained psychologist who graduated from the University of the Basque Country and completed his Master’s in General Health Psychology at the International University of La Rioja. His integrative approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Constructivist Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy.

Adrian believes that therapy should feel less like a clinical appointment and more like a meaningful conversation. His style is natural, flexible, and collaborative, using accessible language to make complex psychological concepts easier to understand. He focuses on providing practical, realistic strategies that clients can confidently apply in everyday life, even when circumstances are challenging.

Rather than following a rigid therapeutic structure, Adrian starts with what matters most to each person. He prioritises present difficulties while gradually exploring past experiences and recurring patterns when they become relevant, always respecting the client’s pace and boundaries.

His clinical experience includes anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, eating-related difficulties, anger, relationship and communication problems, and social difficulties. Beyond diagnostic labels, he seeks to understand each person’s unique experience and adapt therapy accordingly.

Adrian’s goal is to offer a welcoming, down-to-earth alternative for those who may find traditional therapy overly formal, abstract, or disconnected from their everyday concerns. He believes therapy should be a space where people feel understood, comfortable, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
